Wow! Is he $10 cheaper than Prowl was? Wasn't Prowl $69.99?
That's a really nice deal.

I think that's the perfect price point for the cars. I wonder if Starscream will be $69.99. :ic$:

I thought I might just stay loyal to BBTS, but $30 bucks is another 2 deluxes or a voyager.
We'll just have to wait and see how it all pans out as I pulled the trigger at amiami.
Will, you think EMS could be as high as $60?

Yes I do. My recent haul was 50$ US to ship and it had UW 01 Superion and 4 TAV deluxes. It can be anywhere between 40-60$. But you are lucky, Emerje says you wont get it taxed. I will for sure, no way Canadian customs is ignoring a big ticket item like that.

$60 seems like a pretty sweet spot for cars to me.

I'd love to see MP Screamer at $70, I could use one of those in my life.

I'm sure they'll raise the price soon like they did on all the other Masterpieces. Esp if it's selling well (Prime, Soundwave, Grimlock)

I ordered him as well. I know I was thinking of waiting for BLUE Bluestreak, but saving money and having the figure in a few days wins. :grin:

$70 for an MP-11 based Starscream would make me think of parting with my Walmart MP Starscream..Also, let's get on with the other MP cars at $59.99 Hasbro! Just release a bunch at a time. They'll sell :grin:

$60 is very reasonable for Bluestreak. I bought one. I don't know why. Actually, I do - it's a cool box and now I can have a second one displayed in alt mode, sooo, a $60 box. I've failed you all.

To add to SDCC pre-orders. TFSource also has the SDCC Devastator up for preorder for $299.99:

and the Combiner Hunters for $139.99:

I noticed that the Hunters pre-orders are sold out on BBTS.

Wasn't SDCC Devastator announced to be priced at $180? I don't remember what the Hunters were said to be priced at. I did notice a small bit of text at the top of HTS that may be of some interest.

The texted is linked, but just to HTS home page.

I thought it was way less than $140. Would it be a safe assumption that HTS will be listing at the MRSP then?

Should be the same price as the previous seekers since it was confirmed on TRU canada computer to be 89.99$, same price as the previous ones.

Fellow Seibertronian jordie5150 has been keeping an eye on HasbroToyShop.com to find out when the San Diego Comic Con 2015 exclusive sets will be showing up online - and we have a date: 28th July! If you're still hankering after the SDCC Devastator with multichrome, or the Combiner Hunters three-pack with Chromia, Arcee and Windblade, that's the day to head to HTS.com and place your orders. To refresh your memory on the sets, why not take a browse of our galleries here and here?

I'm glad that they are giving an actual date for the beginning of this yearly online hellish experience. Likely they have it 2 weeks later to allow for the product to ship back from the convention. I'm also hoping there's plenty to go around, as well as a smooth experience in trying to purchase them. :BANG_HEAD:

Those sets are probably gonna be the biggest transformers shelfwarmers in SDCC history, especially that Devy. They really screwed up not going for a G2 deco. Instead they tried to do a "premium version" only to be outshined by Takara and a host of cool 3rd party upgrades for the cheaper version. The fembots will eventually sell. Its such a niche deco aimed towards comic readers. But new heads (new characters) would have made the recipe for a better sell. Maybe a 3rd party can offer something to make the fem clowns more desirable.

After picking up Devy for $127 after tax I've guaranteed myself getting at least one of the upgrade sets from one of the companies! For some reason I still like that SDCC one, but not enough for me to wait and spend $60 more after taxes.

Well, Takara outshines the SDCC version in functionality, accessories and features, but not in deco. The Takara Devy has as much paint apps as the Hasbro version, just in different places for a more G1 feel. Of all the decos, SDCC has the most amount of paint.

Thsnks. I probably shouldn't have paid that much for Rodimus, but it beats waiting for BBTS and then paying even more for both of them when I don't actually want Skywarp.

I was digging around to see if anyone had the RID Mini-cons up for sale or pre-order. Found them both listed as in stock at Robot Kingdom. They also have the Deployers, but they are listed as a set of two.

Wave 1

Wave 2

Deployers Set of 2

If I remember correctly, I think Chuck said, in his video reviews, that he got his Deployers from RK.

Kmart.com has CW Legends Skywarp and Rodimus available (after I paid extra on Amazon, go figure), as well as RiD Warriors Night Ops Bumblebee and Gold Armor Grimlock, and a 3-step Thunderhoof that seems to have come out of nowhere.

EDIT: Please disregard this post, I forgot that kmart.com has earned itself a reputation for not sending what you ordered.

Speaking of amazon they had Rodimus in stock for a hot minute. I hate when 3rd party sellers buy out the stock so quickly just to re-sell at a higher price.

Is the regular price really 201.35$ or is that just the markup put by takaratomymall for buying online? Because all the evidence shows that the actual retail price for all Takara products in Japan is actually the discounted price Amiami and other sell it for, about 18000 Y.

hobbysearch's prices are more to the level of hlj in pricing. As Amiami is the Big Kahuna in discounts (with the exception of artbooks :WHISTLE:

hobbysearch's prices are more to the level of hlj in pricing. As Amiami is the Big Kahuna in discounts (with the exception of artbooks )

Oh man, you are totally right! Hobbysearch is indeed the closest price to what you would get at Japanese retail. Here is Drift for instance at 2250 Y http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10333938

And at retail in Japan he was found for 2125 Y http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/june-takara-tomy-transformers-adventure-toys-available-and-found-at-japan-retail/33333/, so less by 1$.

Although I am still trying to figure out what the deal is with that inflated MSRP.

@ hobbysearch, Devastar Y 21250. around $ 40 less from the regular price of $ 201.35. Just remember, they automatically use EMS

Is the regular price really 201.35$ or is that just the markup put by takaratomymall for buying online? Because all the evidence shows that the actual retail price for all Takara products in Japan is actually the discounted price Amiami and other sell it for, about 18000 Y.

This might not be related but I also noticed recently that hobbysearch isn't too keen at selling TFs. Just a feeling with a bit of evidence (it was my reminding them to carry TAV line like PG that got them to solicitate the latest tranch release). Even hlj beats them at solicitation offer (Devs was offered after like 2 weeks since Amiami's) though in terms of reliability at releasing your reserves, they always push through.

The price of theirs might be a safety precaution in case DEvs doesn't sell (?) Speculation on my part.
